A board member doing research are the obligation of the job. Since De practices mushroom management, what would you expect?

George needs to keep his job will say anything to make sure De can deliver for the owners.

Very talented, oft-injured and overpaid. Sounds like an executive is born!

If the players had any sense they would want the most competent and accomplished person leading their union, and that person almost certainly never played professional football.

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 13:33:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2715884#comment-7157214Doesn’t matter who the players select. This is not a traditional union where everyone makes the same amount and has a 40-50 year career. The top 10 players on a team make the most money. The other 43 players on the active roster AND the practice squad players all get to vote on the contract.( There are as many players on the practice squad as there are top 10 salaried players ) The average player’s career is 3 years in the NFL. Do you want to give up one of those years so the top 10 guys can make more money ? The league only has to propose a contract that increases minimums for all active players and practice squad players. If you were a player would you hold out ( missing a year of your 3 year career ) so players like Aaron Rogers can increase their $ 76 Million salary, or would you vote for one which gives you an additional $ 100,000 per year for the 3 years you are playing ? Very easy to divide and conquer for the NFL.

This is a serious subject with no room for sarcasm or hate. And both those men are worthy of your respect. But I have concluded Mr. Okung is the right man for the job and encourage you to join me in supporting his election.
